Overview
Ant Nest is an underground dungeon located between Gludio and Dion. The zone is built for characters level 18-30 and consists of a maze of winding tunnels filled with ants of various ranks. Deep in the lowest level sits the lair of the epic raid boss Queen Ant — one of the game's iconic Grand Bosses. Taking down Queen Ant requires an organized raid of 36 or more players.
Mobs & Farming
The dungeon is home to several mob types, listed below by level.
| Mob | Level | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ant Soldier | 18-22 | Entry-level mobs near the upper tunnels. |
| Ant Warrior Guard | 22-26 | Mid-tier, hits harder in groups. |
| Ant Guard | 24-28 | Higher XP and drop rate, good for parties. |
| Ant Captain | 28-30 | Toughest standard mobs, best rewards. |
| Ant Patrol / Ant Noble | Deep | Stronger guards protecting the approach to the Queen. |
The ants give steady Adena and solid XP for the level range. Drops include D-grade materials, potions and consumables. Adena farming here is considered one of the best options at this level bracket.
Quests & NPCs
Several quests send players into Ant Nest. Collection quests for ant body parts are available from NPCs in Gludio and Dion. The dungeon is also a stage for some 2nd class transfer quests. Near the entrance you'll find a guard NPC who provides information about the zone.
Tips
For solo farming, start at the upper levels of the dungeon (Ant Soldier) and work your way deeper as you gain levels. Parties of 3-5 players should head straight for Ant Guard and Ant Captain, where drop rates and XP are higher. Bring a stack of potions — the mobs hit hard when they pile on in groups. Mages should be careful: the narrow tunnels make it easy to pull extra mobs by accident.
